Nissan is introducing a special edition Juke at the 2016 L.A. Auto Show.

Announced ahead of its debut in Los Angeles next week, the Nissan Juke Black Pearl Edition is based on the well-equipped Juke SV and is available in front- or all-wheel drive. Providing aftermarket style personalization straight from the factory, the Juke Black Pearl Edition is the third vehicle created by the Juke Color Studio, following the previous “Yellow Stinger” and “Black Stinger” editions.

The model will be limited to 1,250 units with 1,000 heading to the U.S. and the remaining 250 to Canada, which will only get AWD-equipped versions. The Black Pearl Edition package has a starting price of $1,190 (CAD$1,500 over the SV AWD in Canada) and includes white bumper accents and white outside trim rings up front, while the side of the crossover receives white door handles and white caps for the heated outside rearview mirrors. Completing the exterior changes is a white rear spoiler and white accents on the rear bumper. There’s also special Black Pearl Edition badging on the car.

Exclusive to the model are Super Black-painted 17-inch wheels paired with 215/55/17 all-season tires. Like all Juke models, the Black Pearl Edition is powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 188 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque.

Stepping into the cabin, the special edition model includes black cloth heated front seats with white inserts and stitching, white and black cloth door trim inserts and white power window switch finishers. The center console is also painted white, while the steering wheel boasts white stitching as well. White also makes an appearance on the air vent trim rings and the shift knob.
